SHRI M. B. RAJESH (PALAKKAD): Madam Speaker, I recently visited Jallianwala Bagh and was shocked to see that the light and sound show at the Jallianwala Bagh is stopped due to lack of funds.

Madam Speaker, this is something which is unacceptable and shocking. We are spending Rs. 3000 crore to build a statue, but we do not have a few thousand rupees for this light and sound show at the Jallianwala Bagh. Madam Speaker, this is looked after by the Ministry of Culture and the Chairman of the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust is the hon. Prime Minister himself.

Madam, citing lack of funds as a reason to stop light and sound show at Jallianwala Bagh is an insult to the great martyrs. I hope that, at least in the centenary year, the Government will resume the light and sound show at Jallianwala Bagh. I also hope that the entire House will join me in demanding Government to release sufficient funds to resume light and sound show at the Jallianwala Bagh. Thank you very much.
